<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article we continue to preview some prospects who will be competing in the PGH Midwest Extravaganza event that will be taking place in Chicago this weekend. Each player is someone that has great size and impressive length combined with the ability to produce on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["807990"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"One of the tallest prospects at this event comes to us in the form of Forward, [player_tooltip player_id='807990' first='Lynelle' last='Awou']. Awou stands right at 6'3 and she usually has size on every matchup that she faces throughout a contest. This is a big advantage for Awou and any team she is playing with. In this case, the group she is running with now for the AAU season is The Midwest Meanstreets 2025 Nike team. This group has a couple special individuals but one of their most dominant is Awou. I'll be stopping in Saturday to watch these guys compete and I'm hoping to see their best effort.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":[954119],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"A really young prospect that is playing up an age level, who I've heard a lot of great things about is [player_tooltip player_id='910406' first='Liv' last='Johnson'] of Limitless 2028 Black. Johnson is a 6'0 PG, that has deceiving length, a quick first step, and solid situational knowledge of the game. She can attack off the dribble, she can score through contact, she can adapt in the blink of an eye, and she never seems to be pressured in any moments. This is someone that is playing up a year but by the looks of it, she is doing a great job of showing out in her own ways this season. If she stays on this pace, her future is extremely bright on the hardwood looking forward.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["662790"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"A player that leaves it all on the court whenever they perform is [player_tooltip player_id='875065' first='Hayven' last=''] Harden of [program_tooltip program_id='715758' first='Illinois' last='Game Time'] 2025. Harden is a 6'0 Forward out of the 2025 Class and she knows how to compete. This is someone that does a great job of separating herself from the competition with her athletic ability early on in contests. She is always someone that is diving on the floor or into the stands for a loose ball if the opportunity presents itself. If she continues to keep it easy and take advantage of her matchups, she is going to thrive over these next few days at this event.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["470141"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Spychala is a versatile Forward prospect. She stands at 6'2 and she is very good at doing her work early by getting down the floor quickly. Offensively, she can post and back down her opponent with a powerful move on the block, usually absorbing contact and finishing the play or she can work from the perimeter. She seems to be very good at cutting without the basketball, always making herself available to her teammates that might be looking for her. This weekend Spychala will be competing with her [program_tooltip program_id='712517' first='Full' last='Package'] 2025 3SSB team and I can't wait to see what they put together.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-664fd982a1699"} /-->
